I haven't been posting much lately because I've been working on a series of spin-off blogs, each of which will present a work of literature in daily or weekly slices, with the comment section open. Daily readings are particularly suitable for epigrams and aphorisms, weekly readings for short stories and longer poems.

Which authors will be included? Watch this space. The first two or three blogs will debut tomorrow. I was hoping to have them up 1 minute after midnight for the start of the archaic Roman year, but it looks like it will be later tomorrow, since I have a very bad cold.
